The Russia-Ukraine escalation that began on the 24th of February 2022 has rattled the world and many lives and resources bore the brunt of this conflict.
Almost all the global economies were hammered, and a few European stock markets are being flashed in red and at their lowest, almost at the time when the markets were seeing a recovery.
These market reverberations also had a secondary effect on the Indian stock markets and retail investors have seen a consolidated loss of ₹6 lakh crores.
Come to think of it, at a time when a war-like situation is being anticipated, a portfolio that could help us protect our wealth is desired by us all. And thus, we present to you our smallcase – the 100 Year Portfolio.
Introducing The 100 Year Portfolio from Green Portfolio
The 100 Year Portfolio from Green Portfolio is an extremely low volatility smallcase and is a highly-liquid emergency fund. This portfolio has been created to protect wealth – not just from market fluctuations, but from the hidden tax most of us pay–inflation.
When markets rise, the portfolio rises in tandem, and when it falls, the portfolio tends to be non-volatile.
The portfolio will be rebalanced timely depending on market cycles and macroeconomic situations to generate maximum alpha while preserving minimal volatility.
By investing in the portfolio, you have the ability to move funds across different smallcases as and when you feel markets are overvalued/undervalued. Of course, the experts at Green Portfolio will do the heavy lifting – all you have to do is press a button and stay updated!
